LIONO – A0770570

***GONE 08/08/15***SECOND CHANCE FOR LIONO–MAKE IT COUNT! LIONO WAS ORIGINALLY ADOPTED FROM THE ACC AND IS NOW 10 YEARS OLD – HIS OWNER JUST DUMPED HIM FOR ALLERGIES! NOW THIS SWEET SENIOR FACES DEATH AT NOON!! A volunteer writes: Liono is a gentle, 10-year-old boy with a beautiful dark coat and white socks. His notes say that he was very calm, mellow, friendly and low-energy in his previous home, and he seems to be all of those things here, as well. He was shy when I first met him — in fact, he seemed a bit suspicious about why this hoo-man was interrupting his nap. But once he knew I was there for petting he just relaxed and closed his eyes; he lay there contentedly and enjoyed all the head-scratches I could give until I had to move on. This little guy will be such a calming presence in someone’s home! LIONO needs you tonight. He has a few medical issues but nothing that can’t be controlled with meds. His wonderful PURRSONALITY stands out more than anything here. LIONO rocked a sweet AVERAGE rating and was rubbing, soliciting attention and allowed all handling. GIVE LIONO A DEATH ROW PARDON TONIGHT – CONTACT A RESCUE TO PULL HIM TO SAFETY.

My name is LIONO. My Animal ID # is A0770570. -P
I am a neutered male brn tabby and white domestic sh. The shelter thinks I am about 10 YEARS old.

I came in the shelter as a OWNER SUR on 07/18/2015 from NY 10459, owner surrender reason stated was ALLERGIES.

07/18/2015 PET PROFILE MEMO
07/18/15 14:16 BASIC INFO Liono’s family adopted him from a rescue 10 years ago and surrendered him because they have a new baby with allergies. Liono has a history of seizures. They started when he was 6 months old and were frequent. He began taking phenobarbital 2x/day which was mostly effective at preventing the seizures. He goes months without having seizures, but then has short spans of frequent seizures. His owner stopped giving him medication but his last seizure was 6-7 months ago. Liono has also had some teeth removed. SOCIALIZATION Liono is shy with new people for a few minutes. He lived with a child from 0-4 years old and was relaxed, affectionate, and super tolerant of her. He allowed her to climb all over him. He used to live with a small dog and was relaxed, affectionate, tolerant, and playful with him. Liono doesn’t play anymore. He’s never bit, scratched, or even hissed at anyone. BEHAVIOR Liono is pretty relaxed and meows only a little bit in the car. He doesn’t mind when someone wakes him up. He’s nervous and struggles a little during nail trims. He struggles and tries to run when put in a carrier. He also struggles when picked up and brushed. FOR A NEW FAMILY TO KNOW Liono’s family describes him as friendly, affectionate, mellow, shy, quiet, and low energy. He follows his family while awake but spends most of his time sleeping on his cat bed. He lived inside and ate wet cat food. He enjoys soft cat treats. He’s littertrained and always uses his hooded litterbox with clumping litter and doesn’t have accidents. He scratches fabric but not leather couches. He used to have vertical and horizontal scratching posts made of carpet and he didn’t use them. INTAKE Liono had a soft, relaxed body as I scanned (+), and pet him. He walked onto the table but saw other noisy cats poking their limbs out of their cages nearby and walked back inside. We covered the other cats, picked up Liono, and put him on the table. He lied down and rubbed his head and body against us with his rear end sticking up. He maintained a soft body while we collared him, picked him up, and put him in a kennel. He was easy to handle and didn’t resist/retreat/vocalize.
